Thalaivii review :
After Bellbottom last week, here's another theatrical release coming to OTT in just two weeks. I guess no one is willing to risk the theatres yet so this kind of hybrid format will continue for sometime.
As for Thalaivii, it is a well executed biopic on the heroine turned Chief Minister Jayalalitha tracing her incredible journey from a novice to a winner. Its way ahead of the web-series Queen released on MX Player last year.
Kangana Ranaut playing the titular role, delivers yet another knockout performance. The Roja (1992) pair - Arvind Swami and Madhoo - play Mr and Mrs. MGR. Arvind is truly the surprise package of the film and his resemblance to the real MGR lends a realistic touch to the pivotal character. The movie sequences between him and Kangana are sure to generate nostalgia amongst the MGR- Jaya fans. Nasser is impressive as ever playing MGR's friend turned foe Karunanidhi.
Finally, Thalaivii is worth your time and money. It has splendid performances and an inspiring story to tell...Dont miss!!
P. S. After watching Thalaivii, I would recommend Mani Ratnam's Iruvar (1997) to those who haven't seen it yet. It will complete the Jaya saga perfectly.

Though I'm not a huge fan of kanganas tweets. But this movie definitely deserves better. Even actor in the movie has given a fabulous performance of recent times. -1 because the movie could have been a bit less dramatic and more realistic. The music is beautiful, it compliments the movie and scenes instead of being odd to the whole experience. A must watch! Miss at your own risk. Also, kangana Ranaut really needs to focus on her craft(she's good at it) rather than modiji ki bhakti. 🇮🇳
Enjoyed it very much
Taut script and great acting across the board
Kangana shines as does Arvind Swamy and the all the support staff
Typical response from Kangana critics
Can't keep her down
She is irrepressible
Go to greater heights and smash the ceiling Kangana.
